Oh my gosh!!!! I cannot put into words the euphoria I feel at this historic time. I thank God that i have been blessed to witness this. Whether you agree with Barack's politics or not no one can deny the impact that he has already made. What a powerful image it is to see a black family in the white house. I cannot imagine the positive effects this will have on my daughters vision of herself and her future aspirations.
My partner and I discussed how Bill Cosby was criticised for portraying an "unrealistic" vision of an African American family in the Cosby Show in the 80s. I know what impact The Cosby show and A Different World had on me growing up. I cannot imagine what those critics are saying now some 20 years later. I hope this is the beginning of the downfall of the 50 cent and Lil Wayne image that has been relentless over the past decade.
Well done to Barack. I wish him luck in the years to come. Lord knows it will be very tough but somehow I know he will do well.
